The purpose of this excursion is to
bring capital to Cheyenne and to let
monied men know the Magic City offers
inducements for Investments in real estate
second to none in the United States. 1t
cannot be lntimated hat it is exaggera-
ton to announce that outside property,
and particularly lots in the splendidly
located Minnehaha addition will advance
100 per cent within the ensuing ninety
days.
In the above list are the names of the
most substantial men in the cities men
toned. A close estimate of the capital
represented by the party places the amount
at not less than 50, 600. fully so per
cent of which will be invested in Chey-
enne during the next few days. The pur-
chase of a large number of lots in Mime
haha addition, and the consequent cree
ton of many substantial buildings in that
section, will naturally tend to greatly in
crease the business and general prosperity
OF the entire city. While this fine addi-
ton will undoubtedly receive the lions
share Of attention, it is only reasonable to
presume that other portions of the city
will not be entirely overlooked. Messrs.
Moore, Jones & Shipman are engaged in
a great work for Cheyenne. In this I'M
dertaking it is safe to assure the enter
prising gentlemen the hearty support and
unanimous cooperation OF every citizen.
At 10 o'clock this morning the process
sion will be formed ut the Inter Ocean
hotel with the splendid 18th Infantry
band in the lead. Carriages will be pro-
vided for all. The line OF march will be
from Sixteenth to Ferguson. up Ferguson
to Seventeenth and returning to Sixteenth,
direct to the addition, where the auction
sale of lots will begin at II O'Clock. At
noon an adjournment will be taken for
dinner. Lots and blocks will be disposed
of to the highest bidders without reserve.
Each purchaser of lots to the amount of
5000 will be refunded the amount of his
fare to Cheyenne. The purchaser OF
each lot receives a ticket which entities
him to a chance in the grand drawing for
a magnificent frame house to be erected
upon a lot in the addition.
This sale has been extensively adver-
tised throughout the west and. many por-
tons of the east, and nno fail of a
grand success. Several of the sanguine
visitors predicted last evening that the
entire addition would be sold before noon
to-day.
The visitors will be driven about the
city this morning and will view the mag.
n%ificent residences and public buildings of
Cheyenne, which have become so famous
throughout the country.
Let everyone who has the best interests
of Cheyenne at heart put his or her
shoulder to the wheel and assist in enter
tanning the visitors, and calling to their
ottantiop rho manifold natural ADVANTAGES.
